Murray Rose, a four-time Olympic champion swimmer for Australia, has died. He was 73.

Swimming Australia says Murray died Sunday of leukemia.

The Scotland-born Rose won three golds at the 1956 Melbourne Games, becoming a national hero at 17. He won a gold, silver and bronze four years later in Rome. His golds in 1956 came in the 400- and 1,500-meter freestyle events and the 4x-200-meter freestyle relay. In Rome, he won the 400 free, took silver in the 1,500 and bronze in the 4x200 free relay.

Rose also held world records in the 400, 800, and 1,500 freestyles.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.

Two Western Kentucky football players are recovering after being wounded by gunshots outside a bar.

A statement from the school’s athletic department says defensive lineman Tevin Holliman and defensive back Ricardo Singh were each hit once, and their wounds weren’t life-threatening.

The shooting early Sunday outside the Lava Lounge in Bowling Green happened hours after the team played its annual spring game.
